Oroqen people still wear fur coats in early summer. The thick fur coat can not only block the severe cold of winter, but also help their owners block the hateful mosquitoes in summer. In addition, they can also block the chills and dew of summer nights when camping at night.

In the northeast, even in summer evenings, people in hot places cannot imagine that even in midsummer, the earth still needs to be covered with a quilt to keep the cold in winter.

This Oroqen people not only wore fur coats, but also light deer-skin boots. This is also a welfare for the forest tribe. Han people can wear straw sandals and cloth shoes in summer, but there are no leather boots to wear.

Behind you is a long hunting bow, with the tips of the bow very hard, you only need to shoot accurately and far, and you don’t need to consider that the hunter loses too much arm strength due to continuous rapid shooting.

If it is a stair bow used for battle, you should consider the physical strength distribution of continuous shooting. The bow tip needs to be softer. Otherwise, continuous rapid shooting and excessive use of arm strength will cause the archer to lose his head and even lose power to shoot again.

He wore a knife around his waist and a leather hat on his head.

If it was in the jungle, the hunter would be like returning home.

Even in such places where grasslands and dense forests are mixed, hunters do not like to ride horses. They prefer to walk on the soft grass with their boots and smell the unique smell of rotten leaves coming from the forest.

In front of a forest, many cavalry stopped, and the Oroqen people took the opportunity to get off the horse and slowly walked forward with their war horses.

There are not only weeds on the ground, but also a large number of leaves, which are covered with a thick layer on the ground.

This should have been the strong wind blowing from the nearby forests last autumn and winter, layer after layer, slowly compacting together, no longer being blown away by the wind to further away.

There are also dead branches, and people's feet step on them, and the ground makes a slight crisp sound.

The large group of cavalry did not know what happened, but people were not panic. Thousand dragon cavalry and hundreds of hunting cavalry followed the brigade, thousands of cavalrymen and knights from various units. Further northeast and northwest, there were continuous tribes gathering along the dense forests and rivers. No accidents would happen at all.

"Nong'an Station is ahead." Li Congye, Zhang Xianzhong and others rode side by side, and everyone was in high spirits.

There is indeed a broken building foundation in front of it. In addition to large buildings, there seem to be some military facilities, such as the Arrow Tower. There is a dumping building complex that is obviously much higher than ordinary houses. It is estimated that it is either a watchtower or an Arrow Tower.

This place was a very important post station in Liao and was also a must-pass place for all ethnic groups to go to the heart of Liao.

The envoys of the Liao Kingdom would also set out from all places to ask for tributes from all the Jurchen tribes. From Haidongqing to Dongzhu and other beauties were all within the scope of the request. The Jurchen tribes not only had to satisfy the will of the Liao emperor, but also provided groups of envoys who asked for items.

This was a heavy pressure that the Jurchen tribe could not bear. Over time, the Jurchen tribes could not bear it, so Wanyan Aguda led 20,000 people to overturn the Liao Dynasty, which had a million troops.

After the Liao Kingdom, the Jin people maintained their rule over this large area of ​​land, and of course the post roads and post stations were retained, but there was no longer the busyness and prosperity of the Liao Dynasty.

After arriving at the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, this place was completely destroyed and might have been used in the early Ming Dynasty, but it was impossible to restore the old view in a short period of time. So what appeared before Li Congye and others was a scene of desolate weeds and old decaying.

Because it is an important node, there are quite a lot of architectural communities in Nong'an Station, and there are probably at least 300 buildings, or even more.

Li Congye and others rode a horse and entered through a gap. The station seemed a bit like a small market town. It had main roads, branches of buildings, buildings, warehouses, and obvious places for raising pigs and chickens and ducks. Although the original mud pit was dried up, it was obvious that animals had lived in it.

There are dilapidated buildings everywhere, as well as the remains of these once lived by people and animals, which makes people feel quite strange in their hearts.

"The baggage soldiers will advance." Li Congye said seriously to everyone: "Therefore, the Liao, Jin and Yuan dynasties all built post stations here. We want to restore the Nuergandusi, and it is inevitable that we will build roads and post stations."

Li Congye showed a contemplative look on his face, and after a while, he said: "Even in order to contact the tribe leaders who are now working, and to facilitate communication and trade with each other, roads and stations must be rebuilt."

This is a major military and political event. Everyone around listened silently. Zhang Xianzhong said: "If the war soldiers are left to protect the baggage and engineers at that time, their subordinates are willing to stay."

Zhang Xianzhong is really smart. Li Congye glanced at the tall and thin man and nodded unknowingly.

It is inevitable to recover and re-expand the old land of Nuergandusi, but there are quite a lot of difficulties.

First of all, the Military Affairs Office is unlikely to allocate a large amount of military supplies and personnel here, after all, it is too far away!

It takes thousands of miles to get from the east, west, south, north and north to this side. Even if you start from the northern end of the Korqin Grassland, you have to walk for many days to reach Nong'an Station. It is better to travel back and forth by light cavalry, but it is much more difficult to enter the convoy.

Many places are large plains, hills and mountains. The key is that after going north, there are more mountains and dense forests, and there are quite a lot of rivers.

The old place of Nuergan is a place where many rivers rush. There are several rivers that have grown thousands of miles alone. The most famous ones are the Naowen River, Songhua River, Heilongjiang River, and Liaohe River, Taizi River, Suzi River, Korqin River from Chahar. There are nearly twenty famous rivers, most of which are tributaries of the river. However, rivers are the biggest obstacle to human migration, whether it is a big river or a river.

Hutchison is a foregone conclusion for operating the Northeast, and even its determination and will are still above managing the Western Regions.

After all, in the northeast, the Nuergandusi, there are only foreign tribes with very weak power, scattered into hundreds of tribes of all sizes. There is no national organization or decent army among the tribes. The fewest Kuwu talents are thousands of people living on the large island of Sakhalin Island. As long as these small tribes are solved, this large area of ​​land will be obtained directly. It is simply free from heaven, and it is too easy!

Moreover, this large area of ​​land is not only large in size, but also about three million square kilometers in size. The forestry resources in it are very important hundreds of years later. There are also Songnen Plain, a natural granary, and the places that go north do not belong to China in later generations. There are quite a lot of precious metal minerals, large areas of forest land, fishery resources and sea outlets, and there are also quite a lot of natural gas and oil resources.

This is a treasure land, and more importantly, it has not yet been developed and has no rival treasure land.

Getting this large area of ​​territory will make Hutchison's development space stronger. Of course, if you want to truly manage it, Hutchison's organizational ability and logistics supply capacity are impossible without fifty years, so it will not be successful for the time being, and it will even affect Hutchison's finances.

Therefore, it is unlikely to send a large army in the short term. We can only send small teams to cooperate with a certain number of baggage troops to build some important roads with pavements, roads, bridges, and important stations as supply points to facilitate contact with those small tribes and deepen their understanding. In addition, early trade can be carried out to benefit this development earlier, rather than throwing money into it.

Zhang Xianzhong could not know the ideas and arrangements of the upper class. His attendant only added a name to temporarily accompany Zhang Han to work. There is no way to compare with a serious attendant like Li Gui, and he could not get in touch with the information from the upper class.

But his volunteering means that he still has some understanding and feelings.

There will be many things going on in the old land of Nuergandus, and the situation may change unpredictably or develop rapidly.

It may take a huge change in this area in a few years, and Hutchison may also need to continue to invest heavy troops, a large number of personnel and funds, plus sufficient materials to develop.

Li Congye's feelings were only a moment. He looked at Zhang Xianzhong and said lightly: "I can't make the decision on this matter. You report to the military commander."

Zhang Xianzhong smiled and clasped his fists, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your commander's advice."

More people gathered at Nong'an Station than in Korqin before. Many commanders from the north arrived shortly after they arrived, and these people came to pay their respects.

Hutchison's baggage soldiers began to prepare the supplies of the League, which were nothing more than white horses and wine.

A large number of tribal leaders gathered around, from the dense forest to the plains, people from various tribes gathered everywhere, which was undoubtedly a grand event.

These people would not go to Suicheng. Li Congye stroked his beard and looked at the scene in front of him, and he felt pride and pride in his heart.

...

Tan Tai and Shu Mu have been hiding in the Nong'an Station area for several days.

I originally thought that the people from all tribes around would gradually decrease, and they could escape from a gap. Unexpectedly, many days passed, and more and more people around me were everywhere, and there were heroes of all tribes dressed in hunters and riding horses with bows and arrows.

More people came on foot, and some old roads or river valley plains were easy to walk. People from these tribes surrounded the leaders of the tribe, and large groups of people came from afar.

People are everywhere, and even the bushes are not necessarily safe from it. The people in these tribes are similar to those of savages. The better ones wear deer skin and boots, and almost wear robes made of fish skin.

With homemade bows and bone arrows, we relied on fishing and hunting to supplement our food.

To put it bluntly, it is a group of savages, which is not much different from the Amazons who lived in the jungle of South America at this time.

When people in these tribes hunt, they often chased their prey into the depths of the shrubs, which made Tan Tai and others constantly dodge.
